History of Organization in the Pacific Northwest

The writer's knowledge of information given in the letter is based partly on written records and partly on memory, none of it on hearsay.

The earliest congregation was formed at Seokane, Washington as early as 1912 or 1913.

A Devotional Committee elected at Colfax camp meeting to see that the pulpit speaker at the camp meeting was properly filled. No particular person was chosen after learning of the possibility that a person who felt called to speak could do so because there were no objections from the Committee. The Committee members were: G. W. Bailey, A. F. Gray, and C. H. Fly.

There was a discussion of finances.

G. W. Bailey was regarded as leading minister in the area.

The Inland Empire Ministerial Association of the CHOG was formed in June of 1914.
